The Christ Factor | Kristiann Smith, Marriage & Family Therapist, Author & Creator

Kristiann Smith, a licensed marriage and family therapist with over 25 years of experience, shares about her work and book, "The Christ Factor." She discusses how the book explores the sustaining power of faith through personal and clinical insights, addressing topics like trauma, identity, and healing. She also shares about her children's project "Boondoggies and Friends," which uses music and characters to help children understand emotions and faith. The conversation also touches on Kristiann's personal health challenges, including being diagnosed with Crohn's disease, and how her faith has supported her through difficult times. Marlena and Kristiann discuss the importance of addressing trauma and mental health openly, particularly in religious communities, and emphasized the message that no one is alone if they know Jesus Christ.
